Graduate Student Session
5:30-7:00pm

This session is open to all graduate students and is an opportunity to learn more about promising sexual violence prevention strategies. This presentation will focus specifically on challenges presented to graduate students, particularly within relationships with peers and faculty members, and explore how graduate students can utilize bystander intervention strategies to improve the culture of their departments and the broader campus.

This session is a professional development opportunity geared for UC Berkeley academic appointees and staff who want to engage students and peers around issues of sexual violence prevention, social norms theory, and bystander intervention. This presentation will explore contentious issues in prevention work, the challenge of balancing compliance with care for students, and successful implementation of bystander intervention and social norms strategies.
